The Osmo Pocket 3 is DJI’s most capable Pocket-series camera. It pairs a proper 1-inch CMOS sensor — the same sensor size found in premium compact cameras — with a built-in 3-axis mechanical gimbal stabiliser in a body that weighs 179g and fits in a jacket pocket. The result is stabilised, cinema-quality footage without a separate gimbal rig or a large camera body. The 2-inch OLED touchscreen rotates between landscape (standard video, 16:9) and portrait (vertical video, 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) at the press of a button. At £536.99 it is priced at the official UK RRP — a genuine DJI product with DJI’s full feature set.
Key Features
1-inch CMOS sensor — the 1" sensor is significantly larger than the sensors in most smartphone cameras and compact action cameras; a larger sensor captures more light per pixel, which produces better dynamic range, less noise in low light, and more natural background separation; DJI rates the Osmo Pocket 3’s sensor at a maximum ISO of 6400 (video); the practical result is that footage shot in indoor, evening and overcast conditions is materially cleaner than smartphone or action camera footage shot in the same conditions
4K video up to 120fps — multiple resolutions and frame rates — the Osmo Pocket 3 supports 4K at up to 120fps (for slow motion in 4K, a first for the Pocket series), 4K at 60fps, 4K at 30fps and 24fps, 2.7K, and 1080p; 4K/120fps slow motion produces footage that can be slowed to approximately 5× normal speed in the edit while remaining at a full 24fps playback rate; D-Log M colour profile is supported for post-production colour grading
3-axis mechanical gimbal stabilisation — the camera module at the top of the Osmo Pocket 3 is mounted on a 3-axis gimbal (pan, tilt, roll) that continuously compensates for hand shake, walking motion and sudden movements; mechanical gimbal stabilisation is fundamentally different from digital stabilisation (which crops the frame) — the full sensor area is used, with no field-of-view penalty; the gimbal is visible in the product image as the freely rotating camera head above the screen; DJI rates stabilisation performance at up to ±8° tilt and ±3° roll correction
ActiveTrack 6.0 — subject tracking — tap a subject on the touchscreen to lock on; the gimbal will physically rotate to keep that subject centred in frame as they move; useful for solo filming (run the camera on a tripod and have it track you automatically), interviews (track the speaker as they move), and action shots; ActiveTrack 6.0 is DJI’s latest generation of tracking and handles face tracking, body tracking and subject tracking
2-inch rotatable OLED touchscreen — the screen is large enough to compose shots and review footage accurately; it rotates from landscape (16:9) to portrait (9:16) allowing the entire camera to switch orientation for vertical video without cropping; the OLED panel produces accurate colours for exposure and white balance judgement on location; swipe and tap gestures control mode switching, settings and playback
Portrait/vertical video mode — rotate the screen and the camera records natively in 9:16 portrait format at full resolution; no post-production rotation or cropping required; portrait mode footage is ready for direct upload to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts without editing
Built-in three-capsule microphone array — the Osmo Pocket 3 has a built-in directional microphone array (the mesh grille visible on the front face below the screen); three microphone capsules allow for directional audio capture and wind noise reduction; for professional audio, the camera is compatible with the DJI Mic 2 wireless microphone system via the USB-C port and DJI’s adapter
Orange record button and joystick control — the distinctive orange record button (lower right, visible in the product image) starts and stops recording; the circular joystick/dial (lower left) controls gimbal pan and tilt manually, allowing precise camera movement without a separate controller; the joystick can also be pressed to recenter the gimbal
Up to 166 minutes battery life (DJI-stated) — DJI rates battery life at up to 166 minutes in standard recording conditions; charges via USB-C; the camera can also be charged during use from a power bank via the USB-C port if extended shooting is needed
DJI Mimo app compatibility — connects to the DJI Mimo app (iOS and Android) for remote control, additional shooting modes, intelligent features and footage management; the app also enables firmware updates; a smartphone connection is optional — the camera functions fully standalone
179g — pocket-sized — the Osmo Pocket 3 weighs 179g (DJI-stated) and measures 139.7×42.8×30mm; it fits in a jacket pocket or small belt pouch; the combination of 1" sensor quality and pocket form factor is the core proposition of this camera
Who Is This For?
Vloggers and content creators: The rotatable screen and portrait mode mean the Pocket 3 natively covers both YouTube (landscape) and TikTok/Reels (portrait) output from the same device; ActiveTrack handles solo filming without a camera operator
Travellers: 179g and pocket-sized with up to 2h46m battery; produces footage quality that matches or exceeds dedicated travel cameras many times its size
Event and social filmers: Gimbal stabilisation means usable handheld footage in almost any situation — walking, crowded venues, low light; no separate stabiliser required
Upgrade from a phone camera: The 1" sensor, mechanical stabilisation and dedicated controls produce noticeably better video quality than flagship smartphones in challenging lighting conditions, and the dedicated gimbal eliminates the “phone wobble” issue in handheld video
